The Board of Directors currently consists of nine members, six elected by the general meeting and three elected by the employees in Denmark. Board members elected by the general meeting are elected for the period until the next annual general meeting. Members elected by the employees are elected for a four-year term.
Committees
The Board of Directors has established three committees: an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Nomination Committee. Each committee reports to the Board of Directors and has Rules of Procedure which describe the role and the respective tasks of the committee. The Board of Directors reviews the Rules of Procedures for the committees on an annual basis. All members of the committees are elected for a one-year term. The chairman of the Board of Directors also serves as chairman of the Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. The Audit Committee shall elect a chairman.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee supervises and assesses risks in relation to STG’s financial and sustainability reporting as well as supervises risk management over financial risks. Furthermore, the Audit Committee ensures that there is good financial basis for decision making and that the assumed financial risks are within the STG’s risk tolerance. The Audit Committee also assesses the independence of the external auditor, supervises the work of the external auditor, and assesses the need for an internal audit function. The members of the Audit Committee are Marlene Forsell (Chair), Dianne Neal Blixt, Jörg Biebernick and Ricardo Oberlander. All members of the Audit Committee are considered independent and have relevant financial and audit expertise.
The Audit Committee's Rules of Procedure can be found here.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee provides recommendations to the Board of Directors with regard to the remuneration applicable to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management for subsequent approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Remuneration Committee further submits proposals for the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. The Remuneration Committee currently consists of three members: Henrik Brandt (Chair), Dianne Blixt and Anders Obel. The members of the Remuneration Committee qualify as being independent of the Company.
The Remuneration Committee's Rules of Procedure can be found here.
Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee supports the Board of Directors’ decisions with respect to the nomination of the members of the Board of Directors and the appointment of members of the Executive Management. The Nomination Committee carries out the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors, assesses the structure, size and composition of the Board of Directors and the qualification, knowledge and experience of each member of both the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. It shall report its assessments to the Board of Directors. The Nomination Committee currently consists of three members: Henrik Brandt (Chair), Dianne Blixt and Anders Obel. The members of the Remuneration Committee qualify as being independent of the Company.
The Nomination Committee's Rules of Procedure can be found here.
The Board of Directors evaluates its performance annually, including its composition, the cooperation between the Board of Directors and the Executive Management, the leadership of the chairman, the structure and work of the committees and the organisation of the work and quality of the material provided to the Board. In 2024, the Board evaluation was carried out with the assistance of an external consultant. The overall conclusion of the evaluation was that the cooperation within the Board of Directors and its cooperation with Executive Management are functioning well, and there is a good alignment on which most important business-related and strategic topics the Board of Directors and the Executive Management should focus on.
